I cannot speak highly enough of Luigi, Allison, and Pups and Recreation. I have two ornery, older Great Danes who are skittish and have very specific needs. Alison and Luigi have been wonderful with them, taking the time to get to know them and to make sure their needs are understood and met. We’ve used Pups and Recreation for walks, check-ins, and overnights and I always know that they will go above and beyond in caring for them. The first time we left them, my nervous female had stomach trouble and Allison kept me fully updated, going out of her way to make rice for her and thoroughly clean up after her. They are so flexible and helpful about schedule — I don’t know what we’d have done if we hadn’t found them
Luigi and Alison watched our dog for 2 nights in March 2024. It was easy to plan the stay as they were responsive, very easy to work with, and answered our many questions. They were on time and took great care of our dog, giving updates along the way and of course sent photos ☺️ We had a bit of a hiccup when our dog wouldn’t come back in the house (from the fenced in backyard) during the drop-in visit and they went above and beyond to get her back in the house safely and stay with her to decompress once she eventually came back in. We’re so grateful for the great care they gave our dog and I would recommend them. Thank you!!
I am so grateful I found this place. I have always been hesitant about trusting anyone else with my fur child but immediately after talking to Luigi and meeting Alison- I knew I found the right people. Both of them, as well as the other walkers who work there, have been amazing for my dog. I love that they send pictures too!! They truly care about animals, communicate very well, and I highly recommend them for anyone looking for kind, trustworthy, reliable pet care!

Book NowWe have a documented emergency protocol. Your Pet Care Provider contacts our management team, we reach out to you and your emergency vet contact, and we can transport your pet to your vet or the closest 24 hour emergency hospital (Animerge, Oradell, or Red Bank Veterinary Hospital depending on where you are in the county). Your app profile has all of your vet info, medical history, and authorization on file so we can act fast without waiting on paperwork.
Yes, and for many dogs that is completely fine. Confident adult dogs who are used to being home alone during workdays usually do well with 3 to 4 drop-ins. If your dog has separation anxiety, is a puppy, is a senior, or has never been left overnight before, we strongly recommend adding overnight sitting so someone is in the house from evening to morning.
For most adult dogs, 3 visits a day works well: a longer morning visit, a midday check, and an evening visit. Puppies, seniors, or dogs on medication schedules often do better with 4. If you want overnight coverage on top of that, we combine both. We will give you an honest recommendation at your meet-and-greet based on your dog's routine.
Yes. We do drop-in visits for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, and fish. Litter box maintenance, feeding, medication, playtime, and a photo report card every visit. If your pet has specific care needs (bearded dragon lighting schedules, insulin for a diabetic cat), we cover it at the meet-and-greet.
Drop-in visits are 30 or 60 minute visits during the day (usually 2 to 4 per day when you are traveling): feeding, water, walk, playtime, medication, and a report card. Overnight sitting means one of our Pet Care Providers actually sleeps at your house from evening through morning. Most Morris County clients do a mix: overnights for the night hours, drop-ins for the day.
Nope! No deposits necessary. If you do need to cancel, you have up to 48 hours before you start getting charged for any appointments.
We’ve worked with so many different types of dogs at different stages of their lives and some with very specific needs– elderly, injured, paralyzed, severely anxious, and a whole host of other medical conditions! We’re happy to follow exact care instructions, administer medicine, and do whatever else your pup needs.
Every time we’re there! You’ll get notifications for when we arrive and then a report card after each appointment is completed. This includes a map of where we went, videos, pictures, and a note of how everything went! Don’t forget you can also message your pet care providers through our messaging system on our app!
Absolutely, we prefer it that way and I'm sure they do too! Our goal when you’re gone is to mimic their routine as close as possible while even adding a little extra playtime and exercise.
